Testimonial: Hazel O'Donovan ISCP ReSync Physiotherapy Clinic
"I did phase 1 and 2 of the NCSC course with Karl and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough! I work as a physiotherapist and found it such an amazing tool to improve both my assessment and treatment in clinic. I would highly recommend it as a form of CPD for anyone interested in the area. The course was enjoyable and engaging. Each section was well laid out and all the information was provided so clearly! Karl is so lovely and helpful with any questions. I would do it all over again :)"
